BURNER ADJUSTMENTS: 
NOTE: 
Alfresco
  grills  are  available  with  both  U-burners  and  IR  burners.  The  following  instructions 
apply only to the U-burners. IR burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for 
proper performance. On high, an IR burner should glow red evenly over its entire surface. 
U-BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT: 
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local 
gas supply, elevation and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the 
burners should be visually checked and compared with Figure 4. 
If  any  of these conditions  exist,  check if  dirt,  debris, spider webs,  etc., are blocking  the  air shutter  or 
burner ports. Proceed with air shutter adjustment. 
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT: 
A sheet metal cap at the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that 
enters into the burner for combustion. 
The air  shutter  is locked  in  place by  a  screw, which  must be  loosened  prior  to lighting the burner  for 
adjustment. The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a screwdriver by removing the burner. 
Loosen  the  screw  of  the  air  shutter.  Reinstall  the  burner.  Make  certain  that  the  burners  are  sitting 
properly on the orifices taking care not to move or damage the igniter electrode. 
Light the burners and adjust according to the following directions: 
•  Turn the valve on “HI”, light the burner and allow it to “WARM UP” for 10 minutes. 
•  If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to 
allow more air to the burner. *Caution, see note below. 
•  If  the  flame  is  noisy  and tends  to lift  away from  the burner,  (WITH  THE  BRIQUETTE 
TRAYS IN POSITION) indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce 
the amount of air to the burner. 
•  Retighten the locking screw of the air shutter cap. 
*NOTE: Be careful, as the burner may be or will become very hot after lighting it. 
AIR  SHUTTER  APPERTURE  IS  FACTORY  SET  TO  APPROXIMATELY  1/2” 
FOR LP & 5/8” FOR NG - MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY DUE 
TO FACTORS SUCH AS HIGH ALTITUDE LOCATIONS.
